        Nothing against them at all. The Iranian regime sucks. May we both hope in solidarity there is any relief for Americans or Iranians in this mountain of dogshit.

    This is absolutely f*%#ing insane…

    Kharg island is tiny. Really tiny. Any troops trying to hold it are going to get hit with drones, missiles and artillery constantly.

      That sounds like an awful situation where a bunnch of young lives would be sacrificed in an ongoing series of attacks so that the evening news could be saturated with graphic tragic shit leading up to Trump being “forced” to do whatever they have planned next.

      So I assume that’s literally evil plan A, and reality will turn out worse.

    Man’s never seen a topographical map of Iran and thinks that putting boots on the ground will work in those mountains.

    We’re going to se a whole lot more flag draped coffins stacked in amazon vans.

        The Steak and Lobster dinner was a surefire sign.

        I’d have hated to be one of the people fixing the Gerald Ford carrier’s toilets pupling tshirts out of that mess.

    Call me an old geezer, but I liked peace better when it didn’t mean starting wars out of the blue and sending your troops to die in meaningless skirmishes.

    So which is it, are we going to stop the war, or are we about to go all in with a ground force invasion? There are articles on lemmy that say completely opposing things.

      At most they’re going to grab any islands and a foothold on the Straits. Occupying Mainland Iran is a Herculean task that would take millions of troops to do properly and they do not have the support for that and even then with the mountains it would be constant guerrilla warfare. Like Afghanistan. As soon as we left, the absolute minute we leave it would revert to them.

      I think the military is preparing for every eventuality. No one can predict what the administration will do next, except that, long-term, it won’t be to our benefit, just theirs.

      The leadership of the country waging the war are saying completely opposing things, to be fair.

      The war is over, it’s not a war, no troops, but we’re moving troops. We don’t need allies, send allies, allies are cowards, all sorts of things.

      Yes, as far as I can tell, no sane “ally” of the US has agreed to help.

      Must be nice living in a country where the people learn from the last idiotic forever war that the US started in the middle east.

        Unfortunately the british government has allowed bombers to fuel, arm and launch from air bases in the UK (and have been actively supporting a certain occupation/genocidal state for the past 80)

          They almost have to though, like the British mortgaged to their empire to the US and need to keep their special relationship.

            Genuinely what benefit is there in supporting a genocide?

            At this point the UK is painting a target on their backs by funding the occupation qnd ethnic cleansing of Palestine, as well as arming America’s bombers for attacks on Iran.

              No argument here, the government of the UK needs to be burned to the ground, and Starmer is a pos that is worse than the american president in many ways, as he appears reasonable to the sheep yet is actively fascisting the country.

        Unfortunately there are signals that allies are starting to acquiesce. Keir Starmer is sending the Navy to help ships navigate the strait, while Iran is bombing our bases so it’s a guarantee that our ships will be attacked, drawing us into another forever war for the United Pedos of America. The rest of the government are telling him it’s going to bankrupt us, but he’s too fucking stupid to see that, that’s the whole point of this war. To pull in NATO to put pressure on their economies, leading to a reduction of support for Ukraine. All because America elected a black man a decade ago.
